8 3/4" 3rd member re-gear/rebuild

I finally got around to calling a local driveline shop, looks like it'll be at least $250 just to get the gears set up and price goes up from there for more assembly etc. Guess i'll take a stab at it myself, first I need to figure out how to get the old pinion bearing off without damaging it.

I wish I had a pinion depth gauge dammit

If it makes you feel any better about doing it yourself, a local shop did a buddies rear gears 3 times before they didn't blow up within a week.
Surely we can do better than that.:D
After the first set blew up I told him to find another assembler, but nooooo.
